The Property

Ascending to the first floor, the main sitting room embodies the historic character of the building. Decorative chandeliers, stained glass sash windows and a central anthracite stove contribute to a cosy atmosphere.
The chapel’s accommodation sleeps up to six guests and features a generously proportioned bedroom, complemented by stunning views of the picturesque valley. The living area includes additional sleeping arrangements that are cleverly integrated into the living space. Adjoining the bedroom is a distinctive bathroom with a bathtub/shower. An additional room adjoining the bedroom functions as a home office.
